Hi, my daughter is...

Hi, my daughter is in Florence, Italy and while there she has stated that her wisdom teeth is growing in causing some discomfort, she is due to come back home to Ohio on Sunday, her flight on total is 11 hours. Will she be okay to fly back home?

Doctor's Assistant: Do you have any gum pain? Do you any discomfort in your jaw?

She has discomfort in her jaw. She said it is hard for her to open her mouth or chew

Doctor's Assistant: Anything else in your medical history you think the dentist should know?

The antibiotic of choice is Penicillin vk 500 mg to be taken every 6 hours. Amoxicillin 500 mg is also good to be taken every 8 hours. Clindamycin 300 mg is another good antibiotic that is taken every 6 hours.

There should be no contraindication for her to fly but she needs to get started on an antibiotic if she has swelling.Have her rinse with some strong salt water in the meantime 3 to 4 times a day and alternate 600 mg of ibuprofen and 1000 mg of tylenol every four hours for the pain .
